Progress on Hexagon Afghan

Do you remember the top photo from a previous post. I was so proud of my then 9 hexagons. Well it has grown somewhat.

I had to take my car for it's state inspection yesterday and the bag of hexagons went with of course. I hate wasting handworking time. This is a picture of the inside of my project bag. Got two hexagons done while waiting for my car.

On the way home I stopped at Hobby Lobby and bought two new shades for the blanket.

Added a couple in the afternoon!

Added some more after dinner. Its coming along nicely. I like the colors. I am crocheting the blocks to the blanket as I do the last round so that I don't have to sew them together after making all of them. It works well this way.
Hope you are having a great day. Wishing you happy stitching until next time.

I just love this afghan! It is so pretty and cheery! We have a chevron afghan in shades of blue that Gary's Grandma made for him when he was a baby. This is the magical cure for all that ails you in our house! Anyone who is sickly gets Grandma's blanket for healing and protection. I can see that with this new afghan of yours! You are stitching lots of love and healing into each hexie!
